About the Author

As a practitioner, Matt bases himself in diverse clinics, some days on Harley Street, sometimes in his clients' offices, and other days he can be found working in his man-shed in Oxfordshire; happiness can be found in many different locations! His clients have included everyone from musicians, artists and film directors, to chief execs, nurses and students, who all had one thing in common; they wanted to make positive changes to their mindset and learn how to be happy again. Having given more than 15,000 consultations and witnessed many personal transformations, Matt knows what it takes to improve someone's state of mind, cast off their stresses and find their right direction. Matt wanted to keep exploring the concept of happiness, both for himself and for his clients. A strong believer in the link between physical and mental health, he travelled the country and even sat on mountains to gain insights from counsellors, therapists and psychologists. Over time he has taken the many lessons he has learned, along with the ideas which felt good, to develop strategies for creating and maintaining a happy and healthy mind. As a passionate speaker, Matt also lectures on happiness and wellbeing for medical teams at Great Ormond Street hospital. He loves giving his 'PeppTalks' where he shares the essence of his book, motivating groups and organisations from all walks of life. Under Matt's guidance, countless people have transformed their outlook, cast off their stresses and, often after decades of unhappiness, finally found themselves living a new happier and more fulfilled life. Matt is thrilled to finally be able to share the secrets of everything he has learned in his light-hearted and highly accessible manual for life. Matt lives with his wife and children in Oxfordshire.

Matt Pepper's book, Happiness The Inside Job: The 7 Ways to Life-Changing Happiness, has been invaluable in helpingme towards a clearer, more positive and more productive way of life.It's written in an incredibly accessible style with very insightful and simplistic advice that has helped me makesense of how to live a happier life. It is also fantastic as a way of accessing and understanding all the other self help books I've purchased over the years.I first read it cover to cover but it has really come into it's own as an invaluable day to day guide with each chapter, no matter which turned to, offering up sound, sage and always apt advice. The simple illustrations are great in helping my kids to navigate their own 'life wobbles'.A must for any home in my opinion.

I couldn’t put the book down and as Matt said it’s like a manual. When I read it, all my sessions made sense and I realised that I had achieved the goal, I had started to like myself and was living the real me. Let me tell you from someone who only realised this at 44, the last four years have been amazing as I can take big challenges such as cancer, I just need to work on the small things which set me off quilter. Thanks for this book a great read in the sunshine and going to be in my desk when I need a reminder of how just ‘happiness’ is an inside job.

This is a fantastic book. It is so easy to get caught in a negative cycle of thoughts, which ultimately leads to negative behaviour. Pepper does a great job of breaking down how to reframe your mindset to find that inner happiness through positivity. It is well written, easy to read and digest, and comes with some fantastic illustrations. Even if you are currently in a happy place, you would do yourself a favour to buy this book and learn Pepper's fresh outlook on life. This has been my purchase of the year, and quite possibly the purchase of my life.

I loved this book! It is accessible , informative and makes complete sense. Brilliantly written, it does not patronise but offers solid constructive advice. Having read it through I'm sure I'll be dipping into it at pertinent times in the future. Even my 21 year old son commented favourably on it which is most unusual as he can be quite desisory about such books!

I just loved this book. I have been a client of Matt’s for some years and have great faith in his homeopathic treatments. His approach to life is summed up in this very readable and no nonsense handbook to happiness. I love the illustrations and the fact that each chapter covers very simple and effective ways to make more sense of life’s challenges. I will certainly use it as a reference book for the tools that are available to all of us when life gets difficult.

I read this book last year whilst I was having a hard time being positive about anything. It helped me to think differently and focus on all of the good instead of some of the bad. Then I started to realise things weren’t quite as messy as I thought. Matt has taught me to be more positive and to move on from frustrations in life. Basically, everything in the book makes perfect sense and I’m so happy it’s finally been released to buy. It’s definitely worth reading!

I loved this book. It is full of helpful tools for navigating emotions, and I loved the idea of moving up ‘the emotional barometer’. It is laid out really clearly with little illustrations. I also really liked that it is based on actual experience working with clients, and it left me feeling uplifted and empowered.
